so i bought an hks BOV a few months ago. and i put it in and everything, but it has this whistling sound to it as soon as i begin to accelerate. so i thought it maybe was from the fin. so i wasted 32 bucks on an hks purple fin insert, and put it in, but the whistling sound is still there but the "pshhhh" sound is ALOT more quiet. I don't know what it is.

any opinions???

 

go back to the oem bypass valve.

 

well that doesn't answer my question... i paid for a BOV and i wanna see how i could get the sound i desire.

well i stated a away to fix the issue... how is that off topic?

i stated how to fix an issue that shouldn't be happening.

 

bov is not something you really need in your car, go back to stock

 

but matt, thats not his question man, he wants teh sweet "sound he is looking for"

 

I would rather have the swoosh sound also! jut I also want a engine that lasts lol

 

i choose engine longevity over cool sounds...

plus, intakes are purdy loud... urs was incredibly loud

 

it was loud?

 

i remember asking u if u had a BOV lol

 

The whistling noise you hear shouldn't come from the BOV. Maybe its your intake?

If you want a louder sound from your bov you need the silver fin which i believe is the loudest. Silver>Gold>Purple noise wise.

 

Go back to your stock BPV. Driveability is hindered greatly when running an atmospheric BOV.

 

but duuuuuude, thats not what he wants to know, he wants teh awesomest sound evarrrrrr... BOV status, cause it makes teh car oh so must fastarrr and teh **** makes teh turbo life betteeeerrr.. come on dude, forums dont know **** about teh car and that BOV are really actually good for the wrx and dont make it run like crap and shorten teh lifespan of teh motor bro...

 

thats true my car was kinda loud lol
